Why is this getting more and more expensive?

This product appears to be on its way to becoming another money grabbing scam. First I have to pay for the product ($54), then I have to pay to e-file my state taxes($20), and then there's a refund protection fee that I never agreed to, but apparently it's necessary to the e-filing process ($40). This new refund protection fee has never been necessary before and it seems like just another way to milk my refund of even more money. Going to HR Block last year cost me $100, so I used Turbo Tax this year to save some money. Turns out I just spent more money just to do it myself. I won't be using your product any more and I will discourage as many other people as I can from using it.
